Shopping in 2021 Time to Change!

 

Shopping in 2021 Time to Change!


Now that 2021is almost upon on up I am using this time to “SHOP SMART” and to look at the ways that I have shopped in the past and how I can change my shopping habits in 2021.


During 2020 everyone had to take this time to STOP and THINK! About a number of things that they do in their lives and now to change the way that live.


One of those ways was by SHOPPING SMART!


So for 2021 I am going to aim to continue to do this and will blog about it and share links on ways that way can all SHOP SMART.

Wednesday 18th November 2020


I can not believe that we are drawing so close to the end of an other year and the one thing that I can think of is how lucky that I am to still be alive and to be able to watch my children grow each day.

The hardest job I have had to do is to not just take care of myslef because no one else will do that for you, but to take care of my family.

I have used this time to go back to the drawing board and to work on my future goals and who I can hopefully move forward in 2021 and how my children will also.

One of the main things that I have done is go back to basics and I have done this by taking the time to draw up a budget plan and to try and average out my incomings and outgoings over the last 6 months so that I can start planing for the future.

I will add a budget plan link to this blog, if I have not already added one.

Sorting out my music 2020

 When I am workingI love listening to music to help inspire me.  When I use to life model it helped me know how long I have held a posse for.  


For most student they would be looking at me to pose any wher between 5-30 minuets at a time.

For longer studies I may have been asked to poses for a number of hours with breaks after around 30 minuets.


One of the  things that I would still like to do but have not got into doing set is running my own life modeling classes and also "Living Statue" work.

I wolud love to have the opertunity to run weekend where peolple could just send time useing a mixter of life models for their art studies and enjoy the location too.

With Covid 19 still around this will give me even more time to hopeful find the right location(s) and work on my bussiness plan for 2021/2022.

I have include some examples and the one thing that I really love are the costumes and how they get them to look so amazzing,

Whitney Houston - Queen Of The Night (Official Video)


It as been about 8 years since Whitney Houston passing and today I thought I would post something upbeat.

How do people contact you for work when you work in the Art and Media Industry?

 

Today it is very import to know how to get hold of someone, yet at the same time safety is import too. At times it is not just your own safety that you have to think of, but that of your family and friends.


I no longer have a land line, when I get my offices set back up again this is something that I will look at getting and will transfer all of my calls to my works mobile so that I can pick up calls when not in the office.


It is not always easy and can become very time consuming and expensive to have to buy things for your personal live and for work. Most people will use one phone and one laptop for both. It is the same with your address, even in the works of technology you still need a post code to set upon line accounts, bank accounts, emails and fro socail media etc.


This can be quite challenging when you work in a industry where you can become a gypsy and not have a fix abode for months at a time. Yes you could you friends and families address but this can become complicated at times and not something that you can use for every thing like car insurance.


I am a strong believer that in the 21st Century things need to change and that can only be done though the Government to insure that everyone is protected and are given the same rights and opportunists in life.


If you have had any issues with any of the topics that I have blogged about please feel free to put your comments in the box below and any ways that you have managed to get around any challenges with regards to protecting your personal identity and working with in the art and media industry.

Your safety - before, during, and after shoots - is important to us. We want you to have the best experience possible.

 PurplePort Modeling Guidlines.

Your safety - before, during, and after shoots - is important to us. We want you to have the best experience possible.

Before shoots

  • Trust your instincts - if something seems off then don't proceed with a shoot
  • If someone is behaving inappropriately (e.g. pushing you to shoot things you don't want, asking you personal questions, etc) either during communications on PurplePort, on social media, or elsewhere, then please report it to us
  • Ensure you set levels, boundaries, and expectations before the shoot
  • Check references by contacting people they have worked with before
  • Ensure other people (e.g. friends or relatives) know where you are going and when you will return
  • Ensure you have funds to get home and that your phone is charged

During shoots

  • A photo shoot is a professional setting and you should expect to be treated just as any other professional regardless of your experience
  • Don't be pushed or coerced into doing something you don't want to
  • Stick to the agreed levels and boundaries
  • There is no need for a photographer to touch you, move you into poses, etc
  • Don't accept a photographer discussing your personal life, or them discussing theirs
  • If you feel uncomfortable at any point, or if you feel someone's behaviour is unacceptable, then end the shoot immediately

After shoots

Vintage Avon Bottles

At the moment I have found that the average prices for vintage bottles is around £5.00 per bottle maybe £10.00 if you still have the box or it is full still.

At this moment in time due to the lack of money and being in a resection again alot of the pieces of many things that are not esentail items is getting lower again.

This often tends to lead to one of two things, people sell cheap to make a quick sale or they hold onto what they have until they can get a better one.

Or the one thing g that I really hate people just throw this gas away and they end up in land fill.

Due to the throw way culture that we now live in and the fast pacing life style.

May families tend not to pass on harloomes to one and other.

This is due to people now being forced to live hand to mouth in smaller homes and now with smaller families.

Low days every penny counts too just to put food on the table , warmth and shelter so ever thing is being sold off even the family silver.

So my aunt is to hold on to every thing for a while and take photos of my childrens future investments and write about them when I can.

Perfume Bottle collection(s)

I am going to have a Purfume Bottle Collection(s) page(s) on my blog showing the bottles that I have collected and some information about them if I can.  Kne thing that I like are items that can be reduced, reused and recycled.

One of these is things like bottles, tins and boxes.

Home From Rome

 Home From Rome

This year we have have all suffered in one way or another.

So like most people one of the things that I have missed the most is being able to visit places with my child.



I have three very active small boys who have not been able to go any where other than to "MyGate" and back.



So what I have been doing with them is going though some of my old holiday photos and I have been showing them so of the places that I have been in the past.



One of the place that I was able to visit was Italy, I have been there twice in my life time so far and I would love to visit again with my children.



I also love staycassions too.  I feel that the UK holds so many places that have been lost and forgotten that are waiting to be seen be the future generations.



I have most of these images online from my holidays so please feel fee to view them and show your children.

Due to renting and lack of space I have been foxes to use digital images but I still love going though old family albums from time to time.



I also hope to haver have some family albums for my children on day.

Easter/Ostara 2020.

Now that Easter 2020 is here for me this is the start of the New Year.

I do not class January but After Easter and after April the new tax year.

There are a number of times in a year that are important especially when it comes to budgeting and caring for others.

For me the main one is April and then September.

I aim to have every thing covered by these time frames.

So far everyone is working day to day not knowing what the future holds.

So I am looking after my little ones and planning the best I can.

When it comes to work I am not looking at this at the moment I do need to work on skills that will help me in the future and one being Computer Aided Design.

I would also like to learn to sew and knitting to.

I think that these are skills that have been lost and need to be reused by people.

People need to be able to pass on life skills to the future generation.

They need to be taught before they are lost for ever.

JACKSPRAT

28TH MARCH 2020

Jack Sprat Could Eat No Fat. Jack Sprat could eat no fat, His wife could eat no lean; And so betwixt them both, They lick'd the platter clean.


At its origins “Jack Sprat” was known as a proverb, and the term used to refers at short people in the 16th century.


Jack Sprat” Lyrics

Jack Sprat could eat no fat.
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between them both, you see,
They licked the platter clean
Jack ate all the lean,
Joan ate all the fat.
The bone they picked it clean,
Then gave it to the cat










AFTER READING THIS RHYME AGAIN WOULD YOU NOT SAY THAT IT IS STILL RELEVANT TODAY?


SO WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING AT THE MOMENT TRY TO BE MORE FRUGAL AND TO STOP “PANIC BUYING.”

25TH MARCH 2020 DRINK MORE WATER

25TH MARCH 2020

DRINK MORE WATER


IF ALL THE WORLD WAS PAPER AND ALL THE SEA WAS INK.”
IF ALL THE TREES WERE BREAD AND CHEESE.”
WHAT WOULD WE HAVE TO DRINK?”

"If All The World Were Paper ' is an old English folk song that dates back to at least the reign of Charles I. The song, with six verses, is printed in "Witt's Recreations" described as a book of 'ingenious conceites' and 'merrie medecines', published in 1641.

https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-all-the-world-were-paper/

OVER THE NEXT COUPPLE OF MONTHS WHILST THE WHOLE WORD OS DEALING WITH THE CURRENT OUT BREAK. THE ONE THING THAT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT IS WATER.

ALREADY THIS YEAR WE HAD ISSUES WHERE WE WERE HAVING SO MUCH RAIN IN THE UK THAT IT WAS CAUSING FLOODING.

YET THE TABLES COULD TURN WITH IN DAYS DEPENDING UPON THE WEATHER AND THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT WE HAVE IN RESERVOIRS AND USAGE.

THE AVERAGE PERSON SHOULD DRINK AROUND 8 GLASSES OF WATER PER DAY. LIVING ON THE CANAL NETWORK WE WOULD USUALLY FILL UP THE WATER TANK ABOUT EVERY 2 WEEKS WITH A FAMILY OF FOUR ON BOARD.

SO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS THINK ABOUT YOUR WATER USAGE AND THINK ABOUT HOW WE COULD LOOK AT CUTTING BACK BUT STILL STAY HEALTHY.


WITH EVERYONE ALL MOST ALL OVER THE WORLD ON LOCK DOWN, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO POP TO YOUR LOCAL SHOP FOR TEA, COFFEE, MILK, JUICE OR SOMETHING ELSE.

SO IT WILL BE WATER THAT WE WILL ALL BE DRINKING (COUNCIL POP.)

MOST WILL DRINK STRAIGHT FROM THE TAPE, FILTERED OR BOILED.

SO PLEASE THINK ABOUT YOUR WATER USAGE EPICALLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.

PLAN NOW!

I HAVE INCLUDED SOME USEFUL LINKS BELOW.




REMEMBER

IF ALL THE WORLD WAS PAPER AND ALL THE SEA WAS INK.”
IF ALL THE TREES WERE BREAD AND CHEESE.”
WHAT WOULD WE HAVE TO DRINK?”

Time Management, Home Schooling, Working from Home

18th March 2020

Time Management.  Time Management, Home Schooling, Working from Home

Over the next couple of weeks time management is going to be very import to everyone. How many time have you said to your self “their is never enough hours in the day.”?

Over the next few week that is how I belie many of use are going to start to feel not to mention very stressed out and tired, both mentally and physically.

All I can say is take each day, day by day and make sure that you try to eat well and sleep well.

Many people will be currently looking at changing there life style with looking at working from home and home school their children.

Many of us will not just be worry about out selves but family and friends to.

So what can we do?

The fist thing that I am aiming to do with my family is aim to stick to the same routine that I would have stuck to as much as possible with a few changes thrown in.

My aim is to still wake up at the same time every day, eat at the same time every day and sleep at he same time every day.

With my children at home full time and not able to go any where I know that this will be very challenging and stressful. I will aim to keep each day fun and interesting for them. At the same time I will aim to carry on with my own every day routine like cooking, cleaning, taking care of the baby and working on my book.

I will start by breaking the day down into units of 20 minuets and aiming to do 20 minuet tasks just like I would do at eh weekend.

20 minuets breakfast
20 minuets get dressed
20 minuets work
20 minuets rest
20 minuets play
20 minuets snack
20 minuets rest
20 minuets work
20 minuets play
20 minuets work
20 play
20 lunch
20 rest

20 minuets (you get the picture) I am only looking at 20 minuet blocks to start off with due to the change of having 3 children at home full time and confined to a small space will be challenging.

I know that my attention span and able to do any thing is about 20 minuets. To chive more than this it take time and practice epically for children.

Some time my children will be happy to engage in an activity for longer than 20 minutes like watching TV or playing with cars.

But they can not so that every day, I would like then to continue with their education and I will be
need to look at fun ways to achieve this whilst maintaining day to day living too.

So I will see what support and guidance is offered to support me before Friday and then start to plans my daily activates.
